Treatment line

Prescription Skincare

The prescription half of skincare, under your brand, without you prescribing anything.

Your clients already buy skin from you. What they cannot buy from you is the prescription half - the tretinoin, the azelaic acid, the clindamycin - so they buy it from a DTC skincare brand instead, and that brand then owns the conversation about their face.

What your clients are already asking about

Acne that facials will not fixMelasma and dark spotsRosacea and rednessFine lines and textureUnder-eye concernsAlready buying online

Every one of these is a conversation your spa can now answer - with a program, not a shrug.

What your branded program includes

Run entirely by us, presented entirely as yours.

The medications, by name

Your clients see a transparent formulary on your storefront - real medications, plain descriptions, monthly pricing, cancel anytime. Storefront pricing is set with you at launch.

A woman applies a prescription cream along her jawline at a bathroom mirror

Acne, foundation formula

Rx

Compounded topical - azelaic acid, clindamycin, spironolactone

Three mechanisms in one nightly application: an antimicrobial and keratolytic, an antibiotic, and a topical androgen blocker. Topical spironolactone is prescribed off-label and its trial evidence is small.

A woman presses a prescription cream into her cheek at a bathroom mirror

Acne with pigmentation

Rx

Compounded topical - azelaic acid, clindamycin, tranexamic acid, niacinamide

For acne that leaves marks behind. Adds tranexamic acid and niacinamide to address the post-inflammatory pigmentation rather than only the lesion.

A man applies a nightly prescription cream to his cheek

Acne, comprehensive

Rx

Compounded topical - azelaic acid, clindamycin, dexpanthenol, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, tretinoin

The fullest acne formula, adding a retinoid for turnover and dexpanthenol to offset the dryness a retinoid causes. Introduced gradually by the clinician.

A woman pats a prescription gel onto a flushed cheek

Rosacea, foundation formula

Rx

Compounded topical - azelaic acid, ivermectin, metronidazole, niacinamide

Combines three actives with FDA-approved rosacea products behind them. Aimed at papules and pustules rather than at flushing.

A man with rosacea flush across his cheeks and nose applies a prescription serum to one cheek

Rosacea with redness

Rx

Compounded topical - ivermectin, metronidazole, niacinamide, oxymetazoline

Adds oxymetazoline, the active in an FDA-approved treatment for persistent facial redness, for clients whose main complaint is colour rather than bumps.

A woman taps a prescription serum onto her cheekbone

Pigmentation, foundation formula

Rx

Compounded topical - tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, niacinamide

A hydroquinone-free approach to melasma and dark spots, using tranexamic acid, which has a growing evidence base in melasma, alongside azelaic acid and niacinamide.

A woman applies a nightly prescription serum to her cheekbone

Pigmentation, advanced

Rx

Compounded topical - hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid, hydrocortisone, green tea EGCG, resveratrol

Hydroquinone is prescription-only in the US and is used in short courses under clinician supervision, because prolonged use carries a risk of ochronosis. Reserved for cases the foundation formula does not shift.

A woman taps eye cream beneath her eye with her ring finger

Under-eye, gentle

Rx

Compounded topical - caffeine, glutathione, green tea EGCG, vitamin E acetate

A retinoid-free eye formula for clients who cannot tolerate tretinoin near the eye. Caffeine for puffiness, antioxidants for tone.

Under-eye, with retinoid

Rx

Compounded topical - caffeine, dexpanthenol, green tea EGCG, tretinoin

Adds a low-strength retinoid for texture and fine lines, with dexpanthenol to buffer irritation in thin periorbital skin.

All medications are prescription-only and prescribed solely where a licensed clinician of Beluga Health determines treatment is clinically appropriate. Compounded medications are prepared individually by state-licensed pharmacies and are not FDA-approved; no claim is made that compounded products are safer or more effective than branded alternatives. Formulary availability varies by state.

Why spas add this line

It sits on top of what you already do

A prescription topical is the thing a facial cannot be. Your treatments handle the surface; the prescription handles what is underneath, and the two are better together than either alone.

Monthly by nature

Topicals are used daily and re-ordered monthly. Every active client keeps your brand in a bathroom cabinet every morning, which is more contact than any treatment room can buy.

You never prescribe

An independent clinician decides who is a candidate and what strength, a licensed pharmacy compounds it, and you keep doing the work your licence covers.

Every consultation on your branded storefront is a live visit with a US-licensed clinician from Beluga Health - the independent, physician-led medical network that delivers care for SPA Healthcare storefronts, led by Dr. Jonah Mink, MD.
